Also a B reg Talbot Horizon that seemed to be someone’s actual car rather than some sort of ironic modern classic festival of the unexceptional thing.

^ Was it blue?
I once worked somewhere back in the 1980s where one if the secretaries bought a blue Horizon then asked for suggestions for a name for it.
After years and years of waiting for an old joke, I was able to volunteer "Beyond"
Beyond, the blue Horizon

A white Ferrari Scaglietti.
Don’t think Chris Evans was anywhere to be found, or does he still have white Ferraris?

There seems to be some sort of convention on at the hotel I’m staying at and there’s a glut of S Class Mercedes, all a year old or younger, probably 20 Teslas and a Taycan Which looks good in light blue.. Earlier I saw a new Vantage and then there was the hideousness in the bottom picture. I think it was once a Hyundai Coupe but I’m not entirely sure. The front of it was like a poorly made airfix model.

I saw a load of supercars and superSUVs (e.g. Lambo Urus) on Friday near Ullapool. I'm sure a couple had a big sticker advertising either the Cannonball or Gumball rally. I hope they had some decent tyres on because the temp was very low and there had been snow earlier.
Anyway among the usual suspects in their convoy was a new Corvette and, I think, a Maserati MC20.
I also saw a Lamborghini that might've been an Aventador but had a longer tail that was all black from the slash ahead/across the rear wheelarch. The front 75% was a shimmering lime green. It sounded fab at idle but as it was given the beans I was disappointed as the sound was too high pitched, almost F1 esque. I'd like it to be more guttural than that

Yesterday whilst out walking I saw a red Mk 1 Escort, a Mk II Escort and a whole load of older American stuff including a few hot-rods. There must have been some sort of "meet-up" going on locally

... a 2013 Mia electric car. I had to look the plate up on the DVLA website to find out what it was

Two tyres on the rear left and one on the rear right, right? A bear to drive I reckon.

He's just lost the outer of his dually. It won't drive any differently with no load in the back.

On the M23 earlier I saw a VW Up being followed by a Skoda City Go being followed in turn by a Seat Mii. Didn't appear to be in convoy either so must have been quite a coincidence.

Not sure how big these wheels are but they are huuuuge. Are they harking back to ye olde covered wagons perhaps? About the only place I can remember seeing anything like that. Gop Ping too.

Didn't realise you were a Liverpool fan! My team is Huddersfield Town (birthplace, went regularly with my grandad when I was a kid), but Liverpool are my Premiership team. The ex in laws were season ticket holders as is my BIL and my eldest is a huge fan. A customer treated me and a colleague to some feather nice hospitality, not in a box though, seat was outside in the atmosphere. Really enjoyed it.

I’ve not been since the new Main stand was built (the last game I went to they had the structure built behind the old one) . Renewing my membership this coming season, so hopefully I can get a ticket to at least 1 game!

Renewing my membership this coming season, so hopefully I can get a ticket to at least 1 game! We were in the new main stand, seat was at the front of the first tier, fairly central so good view. No duck! Food was very nice, but the best part was the big meat pie at full time!

Heard it before I saw it. Sitting at the drive thru, this McLaren (I think..) pulled out onto the road and made enough noise to make me smile. There was also a bright yellow top of the range C8 Corvette a few cars behind me.

There is a guy round here with a BMW cabrio, when he departs the roundabouts he boots it a bit. No idea which flavour but the noise is brilliant.

Well I just had a pleasant surprise because I just saw a convoy with a Ferrari f40 ,Ferrari 812 super fast I think , and a pagani huyara . I have never seen a f40 on the road,a friend actually has one but says it is awful to drive on the road ,and he keeps it locked away .

Some small but desirable cars today. the GT2 was beside me as I filled up and then I pulled up beside it 2 hours later. the Aston still had dealer plates on it so was only a few weeks old.

German-registered Model3 near Scone this morning. He'd obviously worked out any range anxieties some time ago!

Not many interesting sightings to report from last week. Some of those I did see: I spotted this in San Gimignano and then again in Siena the next day, so it is still getting some use: A few of these sill in use. Some are hired our by classic hire companies: This looked to be in mint 'one careful owner from new' condition: Looking cool alongside the modern stuff in the street: Others spotted but not pictured include a Ferrari Dino and a pair of late 50's / early '60s Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spyders, driven in convoy.
